I have major shoe shopping issues.
There's one store in the mall where I can just buy shoes right off the shelf - the Birkenstock store. Not just for sandals anymore! I love those things. They're SO comfy and last forever. But a person can only afford so many pair of $150 shoes.

You need to check ebay, my wife gets Birk's off of there and has never had sizing issues, if you get actual Birk's they will all be the same, and the best part is the same $150 pair in the store you can get for around $60-$80.

Oh I check off and on. It's sometimes hard to find the real thing and not the fakes being passed off though. I have a few styles in mind I'd like to have.

QVC.com has them on sale for the $60-70 range - have some styles I liked, but the smallest size they had was a 5.5-6 and I need a 5. Tempted to buy a pair anyhow.. for that price I could maybe handle the slightly larger size! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

You have the same foot issue my wife does. Infants feet. She does have a couple of pair of crocs and loved them. She got them last year while she was pregnant. One size that fits now, and another when her feet were swollen that she gave to her mother.

I feel better now Bob that you may get one. I have been thinking of getting a pair for casual wear, and like you it had crossed my mind for boating, and possibly my float tube.

Hey, if Mario Batali can pull them off, why can't I?! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'm serious. If they feel that good, let me know. Between the heel spur and the arthritic knee, I need some help. If I'm lucky, I can manage jogging a couple of miles every other day and to do that, I have to come home and lie down for about 30 minutes. Lazy, absolutely! Necessary, definitely.

Go buy a pair tomorrow! 10 hours at work and 3.5 hours on the boat and my feet and knees felt fine.

Wal Mart got them? I'm dying tonight. Didn't even get to run. And I wear really comfortable running shoes all day.

If I have to drive all the way across the state to get a pair of crocs, they better be more than comfortable. I'll go to Lynchburg or Richmond and do some hunting.
